Bunmi AdulojuThe Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued an order transferring regulatory oversight of the electricity market in Kogi to the state’s electricity regulatory commission and the Electricity Act 2023 .
“Recall that with the EA 2023, the commission retains the role as a central regulator with regulatory oversight on the inter-state/international generation, transmission, supply, trading and system operations,” NERC said.“The EA also mandates any state that intends to establish and regulate intrastate electricity markets to deliver a formal notification of its processes and requests NERC to transfer regulatory authority over electricity operations in the state to the State Regulator.
“Based on this, the Government of Kogi State complied with the conditions precedent in the laws, duly notified NERC and requested for the transfer of regulatory oversight of the intrastate electricity market in Kogi State.” Also, NERC directed the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company to incorporate a subsidiary to take over responsibilities for intrastate supply and distribution of electricity in Kogi state from AEDC.“AEDC shall complete the incorporation of AEDC SubCo within 60 days from 13th September 2024,” NERC said.
The commission said the sub-company would apply for and obtain a licence for the intrastate supply and distribution of electricity from KSERC.On April 22, Enugu and Ekiti states
